Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 25,24) {وَ وُجُوْهٌ يَّوْمَىِٕذٍۭ بَاسِرَةٌ …:’’ بَاسِرَةٌ ‘‘ ’’بَسَرَ يَبْسُرُ بُسُوْرًا‘‘} (n) To frown, to distort the face. {’’ فَاقِرَةٌ ‘‘} That severity which breaks the back. This is derived from {’’فَقَرَاتُ الظَّهْرِِ‘‘}, which means "vertebrae of the back." It is said: {’’فَقَرْتُ الرَّجُلَ‘‘} "I broke the vertebrae of that man's back."
